⚽ Brasileirão 2026 - Brazilian Championship Serie A

[SensitiveEyes]

Carlo was wrong to take Neymar to the FWC. Brazil sponsors will not help Carlo if he gets fired. His reputation for being one of the best managers in the business was enough to omit Neymar from the Brazilian squad. Neymar was injured at Santos, he was not in the best physical shape to represent Brazil. He scored a goal when Brazil lost against Norway so now Brazil can turn over a new page.

The Brazil federation will not fire Carlo for falling to Norway in the world cup because they want Carlo to bring new players forward. Brazil are lucky to have Carlo because his football brain works like a genius. The Brazilian federation must trust the players Carlo wants to train and coach because it is his job to make them win.

It's true that his physical conditioning isn't good, and it's clear that he wouldn't do much in a World Cup, but we need to look at things more broadly. In a football team, there are more than 14 players; there are 11 players on the field and even more players sitting on the bench, so it's not Neymar's fault that Brazil was eliminated. It's true that many people are swayed by the hatred they have for him. And yes, he's no longer at the level to play in a World Cup, but the current Brazilian squad is very weak; it doesn't have players of Ronaldinho's level.

The Brazilian national team's attack is weak; they have Vinicius Jr., who doesn't score goals like Mbappé or Messi. And speaking of Neymar, I read news that Santos fans want the club to renew his contract as a priority. Honestly, I don't see why they should renew his contract, and why he doesn't just retire from football already.

When Brazil crashed out of the FWC it was because the team was weak. It was not Neymar's fault. People felt sorry for Neymar because he played a cameo piece due to injury. Carlo is the manager so he should have used players who were ready to play against the world’s best countries. Carlos is lucky he will manage Brazil in the Copa America.

Palmeiras will face Internacional this week. Internacional is in the relegation zone, and it’s safe to say they need points. Palmeiras, on the other hand, must win this match to maintain their lead over Flamengo. Frankly, an important and challenging match awaits both teams. For some reason, I think Internacional has the potential to pick up points in this match. Palmeiras could drop points here. At the very least, it will heat up the race in the league. Since Internacional has a game in hand, the points they earn in matches like this will be crucial for them if they want to stay in the league.

In the last 10 games that Internacional played away from home, they only managed to win in 1 game, against Santos, and I'm only talking about games in the Brazilian Championship. In those last 10 games, they conceded a goal in 9 games, only keeping a clean sheet in 1. Today they will play away against Palmeiras, who in their last 9 home games have only lost 1 game and have a very strong attack, scoring in all 10 of their last games. I believe that in today's game they will score again and win.

Palmeiras has the following injured players: Paulinho, Bruno Fuchs, Khellven.

Internacional has the following injured players: Kayky, Thiago Maia, Rodrigo Villagra, and Sergio Rochet.

With odds of @1.59 for Palmeiras to win, I consider it a low risk considering everything I've analyzed about both teams.

Good analysis, Slow Death, it turned out really well
I also think Palmeiras will win, especially since they’re playing at home

The odds are actually pretty good at 1.59 (1.58 on 1win),  I thought they’d be lower, maybe 1.40
I think even I’m going to take a chance on this one
The downside is betting on a Palmeiras win, since they’re my team’s (Corinthians) main rival, hehehe

Remo drew with Atlético Mineiro, the team that’s been in top form in recent weeks. Both teams, of course, need points. Remo hadn’t won in three matches, and a victory in this game would have brought their total to 24 points. The home team scored in the opening minute but conceded two goals before the end of the first half. Fortunately, they scored the equalizer in the second half and managed to earn a point from a match in which they didn’t play poorly.
Fluminense drew on the road against Botafogo and continued their long winless streak. They had started the league well, but with this draw, they haven’t won in six weeks. We can say that both teams displayed the potential to win in this match, but I’d say the draw won’t disappoint either side.

[criptoevangelista]

Flamengo managed to narrow the gap a bit with leaders Palmeiras, and they even have a game in hand, which could close the distance even further. Now, what a rough patch Santos is going through, right? The president is being criticized by everyone for everything, basically putting Santos on a path to bankruptcy. If I'm not mistaken, they owe 100 million reais to Neymar... before long, the striker is going to end up taking over the club in exchange for wiping out the debt, lol.

Palmeiras was unable to secure a victory against Internacional. I’d say Palmeiras played better than their opponent, but they were unlucky in front of goal in this particular match. Internacional, on the other hand, should be happy to have come away with 1 point from this away game. It’s not easy to earn a draw on the road against a team like Palmeiras.
The match between Bahia and Vasco da Gama ended scoreless. Neither team managed to take many on-target shots during the game, but we can say they created plenty of scoring opportunities. I’d say the draw was a result that didn’t disappoint either team.

I think the team itself is focused on Wednesday's game against Cerro, which will be the second leg of the Libertadores Cup. I think they consider it more important and are focused on that. For me, they'll win easily, and the Brazilian championship will still give them many opportunities to win and overtake Flamengo.

Once again, Internacional had a "victory", because lets to be honest.... for a team that is doing so badly, drawing against Corinthians was already a great achievement, and doing the same against Palmeiras at their home is clearly a "victory", if I had bet in this match I would have bet on my favorite team to lose

Anyway, it was an ugly game... lots of fouls, lots of cards... refereeing mistakes against Internacional (actually, I've never seen a referee make mistakes in favor of Internacional), but this draw guaranteed Palmeiras the top spot and still keeps Internacional outside the relegation zone (surviving as best it can).

"Gaucho" teams (from Rio Grande do Sul state) have this particularity: they only lose to weak teams... it is impressive!

It's unbelievable that in this first round I only had losses, all my bets were losses, and what's even more unbelievable is that most of the games I put on my parlay ended in draws, not wins as I had bet. I wasn't shocked by Palmeiras' result; I saw them winning or, at worst, a draw. But I preferred to risk a win because of the good odds.

The first half ended goalless, with neither team creating many scoring opportunities, and the second half was the same. Interestingly, Palmeiras had 25 shots, but only 2 on target, while Internacional had 7 shots, with 2 on target. The final score was:

Palmeiras 0 - 0 Internacional

I only managed to get the Remo vs. Atletico Mineiro game right, predicting a draw or a victory for Atletico Mineiro, and the game ended with the following result:

Remo 2 - 2 Atletico Mineiro


Flamengo won, and I honestly avoided betting on them, and I confess I did so because I believed they could drop points. But surprisingly, they won and are now only 6 points behind Palmeiras and has one less game played than Palmeiras.. Now, Santos' situation with Neymar isn't good. With this defeat, they've fallen into the relegation zone.



And this current situation for Santos could worsen even further in the next round when they play against Vasco da Gama, who are currently also in the relegation zone. A defeat for Santos in that game would put them even lower. It's strange how unlucky Neymar has been; while Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi are in teams fighting for the title despite their advanced age for football, Neymar is fighting to avoid relegation.

[Jossque]

Santos lost 2-0 at home to Atlético Paranaense. I think they played better than their opponent because Santos managed to take about three times as many shots as Atlético Paranaense. They had more possession, but Paranaense managed to win the match thanks to goals scored by Kevin Viveros in the first half. With this victory, Atlético Paranaense raised its points total to 40, while Santos remained at 22 points.

Great analysis and predictions! As I said before, I think Palmeiras is saving themselves for the Libertadores game against Cerro. I would bet on Palmeiras to win tomorrow, precisely because of their strategy. They are better than Cerro. They just need to play well. It's a good bet!

Palmeiras failed to win their game against Internacional. It was a great result for Internacional t o increase their chances of staying in the league, the one point allows them to go one step ahead of Santo. I bet on Palmeiras to win the game, knowing that they will do everything they can to increase their point difference from Flamengo. After the draw and Flamengo get a win against Vitoria, they have reduced the gap to 6 points from the top of the table. I think Palmeiras needs to improve their performance in the next games.

I think the team itself is focused on Wednesday's game against Cerro, which will be the second leg of the Libertadores Cup. I think they consider it more important and are focused on that. For me, they'll win easily, and the Brazilian championship will still give them many opportunities to win and overtake Flamengo.

The Libertadores Cup is an important match to focus on, but compared to their previous opponent, I expect Palmeiras to win even with one goal. Flamengo has a game in hand, if they win the missing game, the points will be reduced to 4 points between them. Palmeiras will face a tough opponent in the next league game. I don't think they can beat Fluminense.

[Rashlyowl]

Santos lost 2-0 at home to Atlético Paranaense. I think they played better than their opponent because Santos managed to take about three times as many shots as Atlético Paranaense. They had more possession, but Paranaense managed to win the match thanks to goals scored by Kevin Viveros in the first half. With this victory, Atlético Paranaense raised its points total to 40, while Santos remained at 22 points.

Brazilian Série A feels strange to me now, I used to know teams like Grêmio & Santos to always occupy the top spots in the standings. They are no longer where they belong & seeing Santos lose by two goals feels not real to me. Another team that caught my eye in the standings is Internacional, why have all those great teams from the past ended up like this?

[r_victory]

Corinthians has decided not to renew Memphis Depay's contract; the stated reason is the financial impact that such a renewal could generate. The worst part is that the team already owes the player almost $15 million, and since the final draft of the contract had already been signed, he said he intends to take legal action to collect this amount plus compensation for moral damages and for breach of the renewal agreement.

Well, my Corinthians friends, if this happens, the team will have to shell out another $20 million. The situation of my beloved team is going from bad to worse...

I hope they beat Cruzeiro in the next league match to ease the disappointment of their elimination from the Copa do Brasil.

There are some very important points that shouldn't be ignored before betting on Palmeiras:

- This year Palmeiras played against Cerro Porteño twice and failed to win. To give you an idea of ​​what I'm talking about:

April 30, 2026, in a group stage match:

Cerro Porteño 1 - 1 Palmeiras

May 21, 2026, in a group stage match:

Palmeiras 0 - 1 Cerro Porteño

It's strange to see bookmakers giving odds of @1.37 in favor of Palmeiras. Honestly, I wouldn't bet on Palmeiras winning with such low odds; that risk isn't worth it.


Memphis Depay has decided to take legal action against Corinthians. This guy is very unhappy with Corinthians, and it's been a hot topic on the social media pages I follow.

Memphis Depay has accused Corinthians of "unacceptable behaviour" and of breaching an agreement after the Brazilian club decided against renewing his contract.

I might be wrong in my comment, but the club owes him a very large sum of money. Now the club is telling him that they won't renew his contract due to limited financial conditions. It makes perfect sense for the club to make this decision, because it's clear that the club wouldn't be able to pay off all the debt it has with him and still continue paying his salary. But the guy got angry because of this. Does he want the club to keep increasing its debt with him for more years? That would be total ruin for the club. Remember that I might be wrong in this comment since I'm not a Corinthians fan and therefore may not have much information.

1 - This season he played 3 games, scored 0 goals, and provided 1 assist.

2 - He had 6 aerial duels and only won 1.

3 -The guy didn't play in the last 5 games of the Brazilian championship.. The last game he played (I'm only talking about Brazilian league games) was on May 24th, 2026, against Atlético-MG, which Corinthians won and He only played when the game was in the 60th minute.

So why would Corinthians continue spending money on this guy?

There are still about 15 rounds left in the championship, which gives about 45 points if the teams win everything until the end, which is unlikely. So, in a way, there's still a lot that can happen. I think Chapecoense, Remo, and Santos will be some of the relegated teams because they have smaller budgets.

I agree! Nothing is guaranteed and proof of that is the history of previous years itself.

Today Palmeiras has a 6 points of advantage, which means only two more wins, but Flamengo still has a game in hand, and Athletico is also very close and has a real chance of taking the lead.... Anyway, if we look at previous years, as I was saying, I remember that in 2018 Palmeiras was in sixth place before the break for the FIFA World Cup, and how did they finish? As champions of the tournament, while Flamengo, who were the leaders, finished as second.

Anyway, betting is on a game-by-game basis... betting on a champion right now is still crazy, something far too premature.

Palmeiras who is in first position will play against Fluminense which will be a tough match and I don't think that Palmeiras can win at away because Fluminense is also a strong team who is not in a bad position in the league table so the highest that Palmeiras can get is a draw while Flamengo is playing against Mirassol and of course it is supposed to be a winning match for Flamengo considering the fact that they are hoping to close the gap against Palmeiras to either 3 points or 4 points as they case maybe depending on the outcome of Fluminense versus Palmeiras match.

Athletico can only take a lead ahead of Flamengo if they win their match against Bragantino but that will also happen if Flamengo fails to win Mirassol. The Champions will be between Palmeiras and Flamengo since both of them are first and second position with close gaps but that doesn't mean that the table cannot change if there is a drop in performance by both teams. However, Flamengo has the likelihood to lead the table since they have outstanding match because the table can change after few matches ahead.

The teams at the top of the table can rest a bit right now; I don't think there are many championships or prizes worth competing for in the Brazilian league. So the focus ends up being the Libertadores Cup. That's why I think the top of the table could change. And the matches between the top and bottom of the table could be surprising and a good bet.
